>> Assemblymember Bichotte's Statement on the Rent Guideline Board's Historic Decision 
>>  
>> BROOKLYN, NY (June 30, 2015):  Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte (D-Brooklyn), announced the Rent Guideline Board's historic decision to freeze rent for more than 1.2 million New Yorkers whose leases are set to expire this year. The Rent Guidelines Board voted for a zero percent increase on one-year, rent-stabilized leases, and a two-percent increase on two-year leases. 
>>  
>> For example:
>> If you signed a one-year renewal on your lease between 10/1/2015 and 9/30/2016, your rent should not increase.
>> If you signed a two-year renewal on your lease between 10/1/2015 and 9/30/2016, your rent should increase 2%.
>> Additionally, any tenants facing any sort of harassment from their landlord should call 311 immediately and report it.
>>  
>> "After the recent battle in Albany fighting to strengthen rent laws without the Senate majority and the Governor as allies," said Assemblymember Bichotte, "I commend the Rent Guideline Board for recognizing the millions of hard-working tenants who were essentially on the verge of homelessness. Every effort to help is desperately needed."
>>  
>> Assemblymember Bichotte joins Mayor Bill de Blasio in applauding the Rent Guideline Board's decision.
